No, because it would have lost the original optimization target (goal
system) by the time it solved the problem. I do not think you can ask
an SI to solve a problem without a well-formed description of that
problem. If you can produce a well-formed description of how to infer
well-formed descriptions from vague human requests, you'd be home-free,
but you still have to solve the initial problem and it's not simple.
